You do not connect the PS3 ethernet cable to the computer. Just as you connect an ethernet cable to your PS3 to allow it to go online your computer may also have a spot to connect the ethernet cable to allow it to go online. The way the completed system will be set up is that ethernet cables are connected to a router for both the computer and the PS3 and the router is connected to the modem to allow online access to both your computer and the PS3. If you do not have a router you will need to purchase one and until then if you have a computer with online access the computer could be connected directly to the modem which you can unplug and plug in the PS3 to the modem with an ethernet cable. Then you go to network setting on the PS3 and complete the internet connection. In order to use your computer again online you need to unplug the PS3 and Plug the computer back in.

Can the ps3 since the comcast is wired internet do you have do you have to connect PS3 with the Ethernet cable to the comcast modem or you can get wirelees internet for the PS3?
You have to have a router to connect more than 1 item with Comcast Internet unless you also got the wireless router from Comcast. You can either go out and purchase a router either wireless, both, or Ethernet. I purchased a wireless router and then decided I liked the wired system better and purchased an Ethernet cable to hook up the PlayStation 3 because I saw that the router also had 4 Ethernet plugs in back. So you still need to purchase a router even though you have Internet access with Comcast.
A newly bought Ethernet cable that is connected to my PS3 did not connect to the internet and it just says IP Address Attempt Failed Whats wrong?
Many different things could be wrong. The cable could be bad even if it is newly purchased. What do you have the other end of the cable plugged into. Can you unplug the PS3 and verify that the connection works by plugging it into a PC or other ethernet capable device. Many people have though that the ethernet input on the computer was an output which would allow them to use the computer to provide internet for the PS3. Both My PS3 and PC ethernet cables are plugged into the back of my wireless router (for wired connection). The router also has an ethernet cable which is plugged into my cable modem. The router was purchased to allow two items to be connected to the cable modem, but the system will also work if you just unplug one device from the modem and plug in the other. Of course the first time you will have to do the set up for the internet connection.
